Eligibility Requirements for UK Fiancé Visa

To be eligible for the UK Fiancé Visa, your partner (sponsor) must meet the following eligibility requirements:

  • Be a British national or hold an Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)
  • Be either ‘entering’ or is already residing within the UK at the time of your application
  • Have physically met with you at least once before applying to satisfy the ‘genuine relationship criteria.’
  • Satisfy the financial requirements, i.e. £18,600 per year, to be able to apply for you without relying on public funds
  • Have ‘adequate’ accommodation and maintenance arrangements to be able to support you and your dependents (if any)
  • Be planning to get married within the validity period, i.e. 6-months
  • Be intend to marry and live together permanently after you and your spouse enter the UK under the route

Financial Requirements for UK Fiancé Visa:

The financial requirements for the UK Fiancé Visa are a combined gross income of £18,600 per year. However, this amount can vary if you have children or dependents. Your partner can satisfy the financial requirements through various sources, such as employment salary, pensions, savings, or tenancy payments.

If your company faces allegations of financial corruption or misconduct under an insolvency service investigation, it is crucial to seek legal advice promptly. Legal Pathway Solicitors can provide pragmatic advice and promising solutions to protect your business from damaging litigation.

Supporting Documents Required to Apply

It is crucial to compile your evidence thoroughly before applying. Our immigration lawyers can assist you in providing solid and reliable documentary proof, including additional information per dependant (if any). You are required to provide the following supporting documents with the UK Fiancé Visa application:

  • Proof of ID for applicant, sponsor, and dependent, if any. Travelling history.
  • Document to satisfy the genuine relationship criteria- including the relationship duration and how frequently you meet each other in person.
  • Previous marriage history, if any, i.e. Divorce certificates.
  • Details of any current/previous criminal record—character suitability certificate.
  • Information on any other country of residency besides the UK.
  • Parent’s date of birth and citizenship details if applying outside the UK.
  • Information about the previous partner and children, if applicable.

What to do after Fiancé Visa UK approval?

Once you receive approval, you must get married within the 6-months validity period per Home Office policy under this immigration route. However, if you expect to pursue settlement in the UK, you should apply for a long-term immigration route – Spouse Visa UK, following the qualifying period of residency of about 5 years (lawful resident period) or so under Marriage Visa. Switching to a Spouse visa will allow you to stay for up to 30 months in the UK and, subsequently additional 33 months with a Spouse visa extension. You can then apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain and finally be eligible to apply for full British Citizenship by marriage.
